REVIEWS

'Worth watching for anyone seeking knowledge, and more so for those who assume they don't need to.' - The Green Guide, Fairfax

'Take a peek behind the veil... I didn't necessarily expect to enjoy this three-part documentary series, with its obviously didactic intentions. Yet the real-life characters connected to Brisbane's Holland Park Mosque - built in 1908 and one of the oldest in Australia - are undeniably interesting.' - The Australian

'A range of perspectives provide a window into the challenges even the most integrated Australian Muslims can face.' - Sun Herald
